Fake flu fighter

The swine flu pandemic educated a lot of folks about the benefits of Tamiflu, the antiviral medicine that can limit the flu’s punch if taken early enough, even in people who haven’t had a flu shot.

Flu season is a few months away. But the FDA issued a warning today that a product being sold online as generic Tamiflu doesn’t contain its active ingredient and could even be harmful to people allergic to penicillin.
